Our skilled designers have expertise that is wide ranging and covers many aspects of the working area.
By implementing design strategies that are backed by the WELL Building Institute we can ensure that your space is ventilated, heated and cooled to the right level and lit to the correct levels for a comfortable working environment.
All of these elements combined ensure your business endures fewer sick days off and more job satisfaction across the team, and therefore a higher overall team efficiency.

Fill in the form below if you would like to speak to our M&E Consultants regarding your commercial space or office project.
Our expertise expands across various commercial and workplace projects giving us a comprehensive range of knowledge and experience within this sector.
We have a deep understanding of the critical nature of key areas within office environments of various sizes, allowing us to lead projects to their full potential.
During projects we work closely with Authorised Engineers to ensure proposed designs can be operated in a safe manner. This ensured all aspects of our M&E engineer service meets the high standards of safety compliance which support the vital functions of your workplace.
Our integrated team of BEM and M&E consultants can offer:
Our expertise can help solve complex problems relating to heating, water, underfloor heading, drainage and renewable energy systems, as well as more specialise systems such as compressed air, medical and dental gas systems.
It’s imperative to ensure a safe installation, and so our team of electrical design engineers will speak to you and your team to build a clear picture of what you expect to achieve.
As Energy consultants we’re able to advise on a range of energy solutions to ensure your project yields positive results in both its sustainability efforts, and in saving you costs for the future.
Office and Commercial Spaces rely heavily on space heating. We have the skills to carefully model these in our computer software which allows us to accurately define the best heating strategy and to provide cost estimates where required.
Closely aligned to the heating is the ventilation system which too can be modelled, providing us with the necessary figures to recommend the optimum size of fans.
The power consumption in Commercial and Office spaces can be a massive drain on the energy budget. Our designs of power distribution and building management systems will ensure that energy usage is kept to a minimum, thus keeping your running costs down and maintaining profits.
From specialist lighting systems to temperature control systems we can ensure that your carbon footprint is also minimised.
With legislation pushing for Commercial and Office spaces are graded at an EPC rating of C or above before the building is rented or sold, we understand the pressure and burden this may be putting on landlords.
BEM Services can assist by completing Feasibility Studies and Commercial Energy Audits that will identify economical methods of achieving compliance. This includes cost estimates for installation work plus expected payback periods.
We review your existing information to understand the project at hand.
We’ll confirm and finalise your exact requirements before ensuring client approval on all details.
Our team will perform necessary technical calculations to support the design and project feasibility.
We then liaise with specialist and equipment manufacturers to select appropriate equipment.
We then develop detailed drawings to give you a visual representation of the project plan with specifications.
We create a comprehensive list of all required equipment which includes quantities, and delivery timelines.
Our team document specifications to detail on the exact installation methods and testing requirements, which must be met before handover.
Last but not least, we provide costing estimates as the design progresses to keep you informed on budgetary impacts.
How have we helped the commercial sector?
The design of the electrical and mechanical elements of a modern Commercial or Office space is highly complex but first we always look at the energy usage. Once the amount of energy that is required to run the building, we can then look for the optimum strategy to achieve this.
In some of our projects we have looked at this across the whole estate for a city university to ensure that they have a 5 year plan to move effectively forward.
Where the building is undergoing a change-of-use we can complete site surveys to look at the existing services to ascertain the quality and capacities available. This work takes experience and knowledge of the UK’s older building stock which we use to guide us in the new design work.
By looking closely at the existing building, we can make recommendations for improvements that will cost little but have a lasting efficiency impact. In one case we saved a London Borough Council over £69k per year (on a single building), from a very small capital investment.
With a multi-skilled team of electrical and mechanical engineers, alongside our energy consultants we have the perfect mix to provide the technical output that is designed in detail and based on the most energy efficient strategies.
With proven energy savings across many Commercial and Office projects you can trust us to provide the optimum balance of low capital cost and high energy savings.
Projects that will see a change of use (i.e. residential to office space) often become expensive due to the complexities but this doesn’t need to be the case. With the diverse experience in our team we can provide costed options that minimise energy usage and capital costs, giving you certainty that the completed project have been optimised by a team of engineers and consultants that work together to achieve this.
It can be a daunting task to keep track of on-going projects and installations with such complexities such as overhauling the foundations in which your building produces energy.
As part of our work, we create clear documentation that outlines precisely how products and structures should be completed, so there’s no stone left unturned. Our equipment schedules have an important place not just to ensure the job is completed with accuracy but ensure the longevity of your sustainability efforts.
We are experienced in working at BIM Level 2 and are comfortable working alongside architects, interior designers, structural engineers and so on.
In order to create a design that is highly detailed and clear to all parties to not only cut costs and lose time, but to ensure projects are finished on their completion date to a standard that we expect to see.
When working on a complex project that involves heating, water, gas and electricity, it is vital that proper steps are taken to ensure safety, and the overall goals of the client.
RIBA stages ensure a smooth work flow with a clear road map that can be followed by multiple skillsets as part of the project.
